ABSTRACT
As we go into the second decade of the twenty-first century human beings are living longer and healthier lives. Many of the patients you see in your daily practice will be from the ‘baby boomer’ generation, which is only now contemplating retirement. Most of these individuals will tell you that ‘70 is the new 50!’ Which is why this textbook devotes an entire chapter to ageing and the science and art of treating this group of patients.
